'''Bangalore Rural district''', is one of the [[List of districts of Karnataka|31 districts in Karnataka]], India. It was formed in 1986, when [[Bangalore district|Bangalore District]] was divided into Bangalore Rural and [[Bangalore Urban district|Bangalore Urban]]. Presently in Bangalore Rural district, there are 1 [[Administrative division|division]], 4 [[Tehsil|talukas]], 20 [[Hobli|hoblies]], 294 [[Village|villages]], 3 [[Town|towns]], 2 [[Cities in India|tier-three cities]], administered by 66 [[Gram panchayat|Village Panchayats (''Grama Panchayitis'')]], ''3'' [[Nagar Palika|Town Municipal Councils (''Purasabes'')]] and 2 [[Nagar Palika|City Municipal Councils (''Nagarsabes'')]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Village & Panchayats {{!}} Bangalore Rural District , Government of Karnataka {{!}} India |url=https://bangalorerural.nic.in/en/village-panchayats/ |access-date=2022-03-04 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Subdivision & Blocks {{!}} Bangalore Rural District , Government of Karnataka {{!}} India |url=https://bangalorerural.nic.in/en/subdivision-blocks/ |access-date=2022-03-04 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Karnataka Municipal Data Society |url=http://www.mrc.gov.in/en}}</ref>
 
Proximity to the city of Bangalore has its impact on the district, with a considerable daily commuting population. The rural people are mostly agriculturists, although with the advent of Special Economic Zones in the area, service and IT industries are booming. [[Devanahalli]] is set to be the site of a {{INR}}95&nbsp;billion Devanahalli Business Park, near the [[Kempegowda International Airport]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2009/09/05/stories/2009090551001700.htm |title=Karnataka focuses on infrastructure development &#124; Business Line |publisher=Thehindubusinessline.com |date=2009-09-05 |access-date=2016-03-02}}</ref>
 
==District profile==
[[File:Bangalore Rural district Map by Hoblis.jpg|thumb|left]]
According to the 2001 census, the total population of the district was, 1,881,514 of which 21.65% were urban<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.censusindiamaps.net/page/India_WhizMap/IndiaMap.htm |access-date=27 August 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100111052456/http://www.censusindiamaps.net/page/India_WhizMap/IndiaMap.htm |archive-date=11 January 2010 |title=Census GIS India }}</ref> with a population density of 309 persons per km<sup>2</sup>. Bangalore Rural district has 22.5% of its population belonging to the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe. Hinduism is the major religion of this district. The Bengaluru Rural district is essentially an agriculture district but it has sufficient scope for industrialisation, dairy development and sericulture.
 
It is the second least populous district in Karnataka (out of [[List of districts in Karnataka|30]]), after [[Kodagu district|Kodagu]].<ref name="districtcensus">{{cite web | url = http://www.census2011.co.in/district.php | title = District Census 2011 | access-date = 30 September 2011 | year = 2011 | publisher = Census2011.co.in}}</ref>
The district is endowed with agricultural and horticultural crops such as ragi, rice, groundnut, sugarcane, castor, grapes, mulberry, etc. There are adequate infrastructural facilities such as transport and communications, banking, credit, and marketing. Though the region is not rich in mineral resources, its non-metallic mineral resources are utilised for bricks, tiles, and stoneware manufacture. For many years, weaving has also been a major occupation for a large section of the population. The soil and such climatic conditions are congenial for the cultivation of mulberry, rearing of silkworms, and production of silk, besides other agro-based industries. There are a number of wineries and quantity of production of wine has been increasing. There is a proposal by the Government of Karnataka to rename Bengaluru Rural district to Kempe Gowda. In September 2007, the [[taluk]]s of [[Kanakapura]], [[Ramanagara]], [[Magadi]] and [[Channapatna]] were merged to form the [[Ramanagara]] district.<ref>{{Cite web|title=History of Ramanagara|url=https://ramanagara.nic.in/en/history/|access-date=2020-10-02|language=en-US}}</ref>
